Ray Lucero Poems

'Flies thru the air with the greatest of ease'
Like a Peregrine falcon…I’m quite sure
She's mastered the art of the flying trapeze
Though petite, pixie-like, and a bit demure
...

A pearl is a jewel made from
Pain around a grain of sand
What longing made humans?
Indeed, from grains of what?
...

Paradise is there
Behind the door
In the next room
But I’ve lost the key
...

They have not lived in vain
Those forgotten heroes…
Who cry out from the grave;
“Have they not built new,
...

Some women only borrowed
Only one would ever possess
You are that someone beloved
Be gentle with my fragile heart
...

Long ago there lived a Man who was
Crucified for being too loving and too lovable

Strangely, I met this Man three times today;
...

Religion like science deals with dead things,
Neither can possibly surpass;

The beauty of a single rose
...
